Is there a program that I could use to remind me of certain events for
this week tasks?
I would like to enter an event that will take place a day or a month
from now it will remind me 'n' days before the event, is there such a
program in Linux?

Thanks folks

Look into korganizer and kalarm. You can also use the "at" command to
execute commands at a future time. See "man at"

apt-get search reminder

apt-get search todo

I like the old BSD 'calendar' program. It's in bsdmainutils which is
"priority: important" so you probably already have it.

Hi Joh! Thanks for the imput.
I did try your suggestion, but the apt-get I have [0.5.xxx; yours must
be a newer version] does not recognize the parameter 'search' and the
'install' parameter could not find the 'reminder' program or the todo
one for that matter.
Is there anything I could do to resolve this problem?

Thanks

My fault. I meant to write 'apt-cache search reminder' and
'apt-cache search todo'.

If you are an emacs (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs) user, you might check
out its PlannerMode (http://www.emacswiki.org/wiki/PlannerMode), or even just
the built-in "diary" and calendar functionality. All of these things can remind
you of upcoming events and tasks.
